[TPR] putting her on ice

[Charles Engles]

Dear Dennis,

 

 

                I have NO actual experience with this, but...I have been
told various things and the ones that I recall are:

 

1)       CRC product 06068 Marine Engine Stor fogger----follow directions (
I found it on-line)

2)       I have been told that SeaFoam is supposed to be pretty good for
engine storage, but I don't know.

3)      Disconnect the battery and place a trickle charger on it------will
no electrical power upset the EFI computer brain?

4)      I think that for a few months or so, the jack stands are optional,
but I don't see any downside to them.

5)      Changing the coolant for a fresh load of corrosion inhibitors would
be good

6)      I have heard of products to treat gas in engines not used over a
long winter.  I once used one and developed mysterious and copious schmutz
deposits on the valves that led to engine repair.  In theory, those things
are good, but choose carefully and follow directions.   Perhaps the best
option is draining the tank.

 

 

That's all I can think of.   I am sure residents of the more northern climes
will have more and better advice.

 

 

                           Warmest regards, Chuck Engles

If any of you were going to store (not drive) your car for more then a few
weeks (3+ months) what would you do to prepare it for storage....IE'

engine, fuel, oil and water lines, putting car on jacks, etc?
